Yea yea im still in school, but finaly in high school, education is a big factor to me so i figured i'de grab me some college credit whiel im in high school with LISD's AP program, so simple i figured i'de have me some credit by the end of my freshman year, or so i thought turns out im in for a long year of lots of work with no pay off! :eek:
get my scheduel oh yea after a logn descussion with my dad i check my self off 2 AP classes, and im good to go! my parents talked me into to coming along with them to parent oriantation, well i shoulda stayed home! i soon learned i had made a horrible mistake. now coming form freaking middle school, im quite used to PRE ap classes and i always figured, why do they do all that work for nothing? PRE ap gives you nothing! phh u'll never catch me in a pre ap class.
Or so i thought...

you see LISD is having trouble keeping thier AP system a float (becuse 55% of thier students fail at least on esubject...pitifull!) during the student orentation, they tell us how good the AP porgram is and how we can start getting college credits as soon as we enter high school, LIES!
these smart little demons trick tons of fresh men every year this way! and poor me fell right for it! :( . they tell you "COLLEGE CREDIT GET IT NOW!" but realy all it is is the ONLY way they keep thier preciuos AP program a float.
So as i said before i was talked into going to parent orentation, after i turned in my shceduael. so now, the subject of AP comes up ,and ill spare you long and pointles details, bascialy the speaker said "freshmen aren't alout to take AP classes", so now im stuck with a year of PRE AP, more work for no output! i've joined the classes i've said for years u'de never catch me in!
and as if it werent bad enough one the the useless pre ap classes has a summer project! ARGH! so this is LISD's cruel cruel CRUEL trick to get ya in thier program for a useless year! i can't belive they'de do this :mad:
 
Honestly man, no offense, but high-school freshmen simply aren't ready to take AP courses. Although how much you've learned and how quick you are both play important roles, AP requires maturity of the mind. I'm going to be a senior this year and I'll be taking 6 AP's (one is a dual-enrollment, I don't know if I'll take the test or not), I took 3 my junior year, and 1 my sophomore year. I completely bombed the test my sophomore year, because I took it lightly and I figured, "how hard can it be?" Well, I went into the test and it was terrible, I barely knew anything. Of course, the test is designed to fail as many students as possible, so that's another factor against freshmen: the test is a competition. If everyone in the nation fails, you're lucky, you'll pass. However, if the average student does well, that puts the freshman at a disadvantage, because the senior has had more experience. So its terrible that you feel duped, but in my opinion, you're saving 90 bucks per test and an ugly transcript.

    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.

    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.

    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
